tip

Using a 26 cm springform tin

Preparation of the base:

Step 1:

Beat the butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar until creamy. Be careful: if the butter is beaten for too long, the cake will become dry.

Step 2:

Mix the flour and baking powder and sieve them. Stir them into the butter mixture alternately with the eggs and the milk in three steps.

Step 3:

Grease and flour the springform tin. We recommend not using breadcrumbs, as they make the surface of the cake too dry.

Step 4:

Pour the mixture into the tin and smooth out.

Step 5:

Preheat the oven to 190°C top/bottom.

Step 6:

Put the cake in the hot oven and bake for about 55 - 60 minutes. Insert a test stick in the cake as every oven bakes differently.

Step 7:

After baking, place the base of the tin upside down on a cooling rack and cover with a kitchen towel. Leave to cool.

Preparation of the filling:

Step 1:

Whip the cream with the cream stabilizer.

Step 2:

Mix mascarpone, yogurt, icing sugar, vanilla sugar, lemon zest and salt together in a large bowl.

Step 3:

Carefully fold the cream mixture into the mascarpone and yoghurt mixture.

Preparation of the Naked Cake

Step 1:

Remove the base from the tin and cut through 2 times to get a total of 3 cake bases.

Step 2:

Cut the top base a little straight if it is uneven.

Step 3:

Spread the bottom cake base with about one third of the filling. Leave approx. 0.5 cm free at the edge.

Step 4:

Top with blueberries. A straight surface should be created and approx. 50 g of blueberries left over.

Step 5:

Place the second (middle) base on top and gently press until the filling almost reaches the edge.
Repeat the procedure: spread the second third of the filling onto the base and, again, leave approx. 0.5 cm free at the edge.

Step 6:

Top with raspberries. There should be 50 g of raspberries left over.

Step 7:

Place the last base on top and spread the rest of the filling to create a small edge. Arrange the halved strawberries on top and decorate with the remaining raspberries, blueberries and mint leaves.

Step 8:

Chill the cake for 2 hours.
